Yep we’re going around in circles for decades... need to look at his people around him Swan inc assistants,  Our assistants are questionable & Richardson not sure what his role is & why we got him??? Wasn’t Roos his mentor for 2 seasons ???

He has had Roos McCartney and Richardson

He still needs his training wheels  Please get rid of this guy for the sake of the club and the team

    Brisbane may have had a dream run this season but they were top two last season and bombed out. They missed their opportunities. This season they are still making linear improvement. Something we failed to do after 2018. No reason to believe they don’t belong where they are. It’s all a matter of taking opportunities as they arise and they have taken the first positive step last night. Something MFC is still clueless about.

    Hipwood showed Weideman how to impact a game without hitting the scoreboard last night.

    Saints v Dogs

    The two teams most would pick as the weakest in the 8. (Perhaps Pies would give them a run).

    What luck to play each other.

    Dogs for mine by around 12 points with lots of behinds kicked by both teams

    Yes both early drafts  (Weid pick 9 and Hippy Pick 14 )both 23 years old

    The Weid needs to come on his development  has been anything but linear 

    Needs a proper coach in my opinion 

    There is plenty of ability to work on but suffers from being at Melbourne perhaps

    I'd be very happy with a Port v Brisse GF.  As for other comments on Brisse getting a great run at it this year, take every advantage you can.  None of it was their doing, blame covid.  They still had to win games which they have done for 2 years now.  They have a clear system they play to, we don't, we did for 1 season and then they changes the rules and it broke.

    Brisbane winning the flag is the only way to make this season not a complete disaster. 
    So happy to see Geelong and Richmond lose first week of the finals. I am so done with these teams. Same goes for West Coast.

    Interesting ....

     

    It was a genuinely good game! One of the few I’ve seen this year that hasn’t totally made me wonder why I still bother with AFL.

    You can see the clear drop off in skills and quality with this game. I’ve half switched off.

    Losing to the Dogs this year was a terrible blight on the MFC

    They are battlers (who have a go)

    There's only one player on the ground with the surname Howard. So why do the commentators refer to him as Dougal Howard every time they call him?

    Same with (Easton) Wood, (Caleb) Daniel   ...

    Too much time on my hands?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
